Wipers

Post by coops » Thu Aug 16, 2007 1:06 pm

I am rebuilding a targa roofed brumby and I need a new set of wiper arms. Should I buy genuine subaru or what. Is there anywhere else that sells them new as I have to stick to a budget and subaru really know how to charge.

Any help would be good.

Just get a good set of second hand ones from the wreckers... they should spray up real nice with some good prep work...

Cheers

I've bought mine ones from Subaru and it was worth it - I bought wiper blade assembly (arms and blade) I forgotten how much.
I also did buy after market and it was "okay" but Subaru ones were way better.

subaru just have good wiperblades on them (but charge heaps for jsut 2)
normally New cars wiperblades last bout 50+ thousand (yes that is correct 50+)

if ur talking arms as in jsut the ned peice where the rubber is held on then for bout 20 each u can get some nice "Chamelion" funny change color as u move kidna ones with some nice rubbers on
or get some like $10 ones and buy a new set of rubbers every like 6 months
